There is nothing shady about this. FASTpennycars.com bought the Camaro outright to put it up for the auction. They advertised it around the area and anyone who signed up and bought bid packages had the same chance to win the car as Jonathan Mason did.

We were called to cover him picking it up, obviously with the hope to get the word out and let people know about the next auction coming up.

@sun1972: That statement was based on Supervisor James Loiacano's comments pointing to the fact that although the state has legalized the use of medical marijuana, it is still not legal under federal law.

To clarify the statement of the senator sitting on 16 committees, they are not all concerning the medical marijuana issue. I am waiting for a statement from Sen. Kahn regarding what is being done at the committee level. Right now the focus is on the governor's budget, and the senator has not been available.

While it is true that you cannot tribute a single weather event as an indicator of the effects of global warming, that it happens over a period of decades, I feel I should point out that during my conversation with Prof. Mower, he also said, "It would be professional suicide to contradict the findings of the IPCC," which could leave some room for doubt.

This poll was not a scientific measure, it was meant to get a conversation going. After a second look at this question, I see the conflict, but my intent was that, "yes" (it is a result of global warming) or "no" (it is just another winter storm.) Sorry for the confusion. And thanks for reading.
